I've sold a few cars online and cars always brings out the assholes with the most elaborate scams and stories. They offer to pay exactly what you are asking, or more even. They send a fake screenshot of the payment supposedly made. They send someone else to pickup the item that you have to pay cash for as some kind of transportation fee. They can't pickup the car themselves because they live on an oil platform, etc.
